In a first for this show, two filmmakers join appear together in conversation. Partners Eve Heller and Peter Tscherkassky join the show to discuss their practices. Together they produced the book Film Unframed: A History of Austrian Avant-Garde Cinema, but their practices, whilst both deploying found footage are very distinct.

Eve Heller's films include found footage and photographed footage, produced exclusively on celluloid film and marked by particular engagement with the ideas of time, duration and memory.

Peter Tscherkassky has achieved worldwide renown for his films, which are frequently highly kinetic, visceral experiences, prompting the viewer to become aware of film as a fundamentally 3 dimensional medium. Also often working with found footage, Peter often deploys a method of contact printing (placing frames onto unexposed film and exposing the sections he wishes to reproduce by exposing them to a light source eg. a laser pointer).

Eve's films are frequently programmed worldwide, but you can find information about her work and film links on request from Sixpack film:

Peter's films are available on 3 DVDs from Sixpack, as well as being included on Noel Lawrence's curated Experiments in Terror collections (produced by Craig Baldwin's Other Cinema company) and on a recent blu-ray produced by Found Footage Magazine. Many of his films are also available to download from Sixpack. Visit his site here:
